After much consideration I’ve decided to merge this blog with my new site, The Vegetarian Family Table. I’ve loved writing here for the past few years but my “food focus” has ...
Hello friends! How have you been? Things have been pretty busy around here. Our baby is 6-months old. He’s eating solids, throwing mashed peas at the dog and clearly making plans for mischief. ...
Lemon cake is one of those decadent treats that I try not to make too often, mostly because I cant stop eating it. But my husband is participating in a two-day paintball game this weekend and I thoug...
Few things give me more summertime pleasure than sitting outside and reading a good book with a cup of spiced tea. Often I turn to my favorite chai latte concentrate for a quick fix, but if I have a ...
Originally I was going to call the recipe in this post "Baked Veggie Sandwiches with Mozzarella," but then I shared the photo on Facebook and my friend David was all "HOT POCKETS!!" A...
This recipe for Whole Wheat Banana Maple Muffins was brought about by two things: my love for baked goods with coffee in the morning, and my desire to lose the remainder of my baby weight. Two seemin...
As everyone knows, having a baby changes your life. But what I did not realize until I had a baby of my own is that one of the first things to change - after your sleeping schedule - is your relation...
Some recipes are so simple that I wonder whether I can really count them in a blog post. This applies to the recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Affogato, but in this case the results are so delectable ...
Hello friends! It’s been a while hasn’t it? I’m sorry. I had to figure some things out… Let me explain. I always thought I kept “blog life” and “real life...
One of life’s great ironies is that just when you need coffee the most, you’re too tired to make it. Like when you’re a new parent and sleeping no more than 45 minutes at a timeR...
I love Vermont. Of all the places I’ve visited in my lifetime, Vermont is the place that I think about on hectic afternoons, when I fantasize about my life ten years from now. I love its rustic...
I had myself a bit of a baking bonanza this afternoon, making not one, but two goodies in the kitchen. I didn’t plan to do so much baking, but I was whipping up a batch of to-die-for blueberry ...
There are many things I love about bread, but right up there near the top is the impressive flexibility of any recipe once you've truly got the hang of it. My Honey-Vanilla Challah is a perfect examp...
Life was a whirlwind of activity these past few weeks and blogging took a bit of a backseat while I prepared things at work for my maternity leave. People kept on telling me that first babies are "al...
Although I haven't posted in about a month, believe it or not my days have been filled with foodie thoughts. I've been leafing through old issues of Saveur, bookmarking recipes in Everyday Food, and ...
Gingerbread is one of those holiday treats that shouldn't be restricted to the months of November and December. Don't you agree? And yet, it does have a special appeal during the cooler months. There...
Quick announcement: My Apple Cobbler recipe (the one the won my husband's heart even though I set his kitchen on fire) is among the many delicious entries in Bon Appetit's Holiday Bake Off contest. W...
Do you dunk your cookies in milk? I don't, but my husband does, and though I've never given much thought to this tiny difference in tastes it was all I could think about last night while we were enjo...
I know this doesn't hold true for everyone, but I really can't get enough of pumpkin flavored goodies - especially in the Fall. In fact, I'm so enamored with pumpkin that I made the Pumpkin-Apple Muf...
I've been a little obsessed with pumpkin lately, making things like pumpkin muffins, pumpkin spice lattes (decaf, of course) and pumpkin spiced pancakes whenever I have a free moment. My husband joke...
Some people say Summer is the thing, but for me Autumn is where delights are to be had. Only then can you alternate between bouts of baking in a toasty, aromatic kitchen and sitting outdoors, watchin...
During the summer months my friend Andy shows outdoor movies in his backyard: a movie-theater sized screen goes up and seats are arranged on the lawn, while in the background a retro popcorn machine ...
I'm usually not the sort of person to succumb to depression but these past few weeks can only be described by that melancholy word. Tears were a daily companion, sleep was an infrequent friend and I ...
I have bad habits just like anyone and two of them drive my husband nuts. First, I have a tendency to leave glasses all over the apartment because I forget where they are and can’t find them wh...
Over the past couple weeks many of you have emailed me asking one of two questions: Have you found out whether the baby is a boy or a girl? And, is pregnancy affecting your kitchen habits? The answer...
If there’s one thing that always drives me nuts it’s produce gone to waste. There are two reasons for this: first, produce is darn expensive and throwing out plums, peaches or pears that ...
Lately I’ve been obsessed with easy, flavorful meals that don’t take very much effort to make. Things like open faced veggie melts (25 minutes), bruschetta (25 minutes) or make-ahead spli...
As far as summer fruit goes, I often feel like plums don’t get the attention they deserve. I love strawberries, blueberries and raspberries as much as the next gal, but even these succulent fru...
It’s been a while since I’ve updated and to that I can only say: oops! The hiatus was unintentional and due mostly to the fact that returning from vacation is as exhausting as preparing f...
Name any ingredient you can think of, and chances are you’ve seen it in a bread recipe. Seeds, fruits, vegetables, nuts, herbs, spices, eggs, oil, sugar… all make regular appearances in i...
